Aaron Kampman Placed On Injured Reserve, Finally

PrintThe Jacksonville Jaguars have finally placed defensive end Aaron Kampman on injured reserve, the team announced. The defensive end tore his ACL last season, his first year after being signed as a free agent coming off of an ACL tear in Green Bay. Kampman was expected to be back for the start of the 2011 NFL season, but he suffered a setback with his injury after he played in the final preseason game against the St. Louis Rams.
After suffering the setback, Kampman missed the first five games of the 2011 season. Kampman returned against the Pittsburgh Steelers and played three games, sparingly, hardly doing anything noticeable. Kampman then went on to miss the next four games until finally being place in injured reserve today. To facilitate the move, the Jaguars waived/injured defensive end Marc Scheichl. The team also signed defensive end Jammie Kirlew to the practice squad and promoted tight end Colin Cloherty to the active roster.
The move honestly, should have been made weeks ago. It's curious the Jaguars held onto Kampman for so long on the roster, while being quick to place someone like running back Rashad Jennings on IR when his injury didn't require surgery and he was cleared by doctors mid-season to play. It's highly unlikely Kampman will return with the Jaguars in 2012. He signed a 4-year $24 million contract with $11 million guaranteed prior to the 2011 season and has played in just 11 games for the Jaguars. Kampman is due $4.975 million in 2012.

Should of kicked the tires first
I’m afraid we were sold damaged goods. He was very good for GB, but never really the same after first ACL. I still wish the Jags would of perused Jarrett Allen more. Hopefully Kahn will not be timed about going after better free agents instead of others castaways.
Take stock in your lives, but leave your livestock alone
I could understand why they went after Kampman vice Allen
Jared Allen is 1 strike from a 1 year suspension. So glad I didn’t buy that 74 jersey

Cliff Avril set to be a free agent at the end of the year??

Follow me on Twitter @Magicman904
I wonder if they give him a shot in training camp
or if they cut him once the season ends.
Respect My Authoritah
The Jennings move was one of the more curious moves
guess they felt Deji was ready for more work.

Gene needs to elaborate on why they decided to put Jennings on IR and wait so looking to put Kampman on it now….another mistake!

I think it was all an inside joke
Some fans confuse the Panthers and the Jags. I think the ESPN people showed Charlotte as a joke to themselves. The Modis thing was probably part of it.
Jennings
Was placed on IR in. the pre-season with a significant knee injury. while he’s healed quickly, others have been injured. I don’t see how you can plan for that

but they kept a 30 something defensive end with 2 surgically repaired knees on the 53 man roster the entire season?
And his last ACL tear was week 8 of the 2010 season. I think that’s the rub. In hindsight, they should have PUP listed Kampman at the least. It’s almost similar to Coughlin keeping Fred Taylor active even though he tore the muscle off the bone.
If we knew the process for how they decide who goes on IR when, it might shed some light into things. Not saying there’s a conspiracy or anything but somewhere among the GM doctors and HC there was some bad assumptions made. You could also ask about throwing Session on IR as well.

IMO, hamstrings are fickle, knees are career enders, especially for an RB. I’m sure they were hoping that it would clear up. On another note, if Alualu’s knee is really bad, IR him now, let him get the required surgery and bring him back full speed next year. Similar to MJD last season.

Willis McGahee
He tore his MCL, ACL & PCL in the national championship game in 2003. He has been playing ever since and been fairly successful. It all depends on the severity, rehab process and age. Of course a player will lose some burst and agility (cutting ability).
i remember
when i was watching that game, it was sick. i thought he would never play again, im so wrong.
I think the PUP only runs through the first 6 weeks of the season, then you have to IR them our waive injured.

He was placed on IR right before final cuts. His knee was not “significant”, it didn’t even require surgery. He was medically cleared to begin practice in Mid-October.
The point isn’t the “planning”, it’s hanging on to Kampman when there was lots of talk he should be placed on IR before the season, but not choosing to do the same with Jennings.
wish we knew how that call came to happen
Do you think they really thought Deji could pick up the slack?

Just curious
but do we have a 2nd source about Jennings status or are going solely on that one Tweet he made back on October 12th ?
As far as health, yes! one more week I will be cleared!! @AustinMadrid but unfortunately there is no way off the IR list.— @RashadJennings
Because this alone doesn’t mean he’s been cleared to practice, it could just mean he’s been cleared to walk without a brace, begin rehabbing the knee etc…
I recall Gene Smith making a comment about how the NFL needs to have an 8 week IR vice a 1 year IR and cited Jennings being ready to go

either way
It’s not like we’d be in the playoffs if we had Jennings. I agree it appears to be a bungle but it’s practical implications are negligible. I don’t think there’s too much to worked up about this. If it was a mistake, fine, learn from it. Wasn’t as costly as some seem to believe.
My only question is if he's done as a Jag, not coming back in ' 12
Why dont we just come to an injury settlement and be done with him? Idk what the rules are when it comes to this so maybe I’m just out of the loop. Any one have any other insight/more information?

Jags played with IR too much early in season
Putting Rashad Jennings on IR was stupid enough but earlier they put D’anthony Smith and host of others on that could have played later in the season. I just have this feeling they knew they weren’t gonna make a splash on the gridiron this season so they saved all the competition for next year? Now it’s biting them in the arse and they have to release potential jars on the shelf.
I thought about that too, especially with the ownership change talks starting back in September 2010
I really think the plan was that while they (Gene Smith, JDR, others) WANTED Gabbert to win the job outright, they EXPECTED Garrard to win it hands down and ride him similar to how the Titans are riding Hasselback. When that didn’t happen, whether they knew the severity of Garrard’s injury when they decided to cut him, we’ll never know and they will never admit, I think this year was essentially a throw away year of one long preseason.

D'Anthony Smith is another interesting case, glad you mentioned him
I don’t know that he’ll ever regain the form that made them select him so early. He may be the forgotten man next camp.

I hate to hear this.....
but you knew it was coming. This news is hurting Kampman more than anyone I am sure!
We need to compile a long list at the end of the season
of what Gene has done right and what he has done wrong. We keep this up and we will be forced to keep only 11 for offense, 11 for defense, and 11 for special teams. The IR will be filled with the rest.
Actually there's a IR Limit
Or more correctly a total roster+ps+ir limit of 80 players. The Jaguars have moved 25 players to IR but there’s currently only 20 guys on IR. The other 5 have had some type of injury settlement and were waived.
Too bad about Kampman
He seems like a great person, an extremely hard worker and a valuable teammate. Unfortunately, I think this is the end of his Jaguars career.
My concern is about Scheikl (sp?). What does he offer to the Jags, and since he’s waived, what is the potential for him to go elsewhere?

GOOD
This is why you never blow your load in Free Agency. One of the worst FA pick ups in team History
http://flipthesheets.blogspot.com/
So
If Scheichl clears waivers, can the Jags sign him to the practice squad. Or is he done?
Karate chop
Bye Bye A K 47
He was a great role model and teacher to the younger jags but his time is done here . Im looking forward to the draft and free agency ….. We vastly need help at DE and i hope we can pick Mario "The Beast " Williams in free agency , we would have the most dominant D-line in the league ……..Williams/Alualu/Knighton/Mincey

I sure hope we sign
Mario Williams. I doubt it happens at the price tag he’s gonna come at. Might cost a draft pick too, because he’ll probably be franchised.
